Charly, I don't buy the most recent sets because when I've done that in the past I can't get listed with them. As someone said, I too have purchased sets that were supposedly brand new, just released a few hours earlier, and could not get listed because the sets was already over-exposed. It has been my experience that alot of people buy new content thinking it will be easier to get listed, but with several people having the same idea at the same time it's bound to cause instant over-exposure. Maybe that doesn't happen at your store for some reason, but why take that chance?
Okay, let's say you have 500 sets and you have 20 people per day purchase from your store. One one day, you release 3 new sets. 5 people out of the 20 might buy the 3 new sets, meaning all 5 are quite possibly submitting the same set on the same day, thinking they got it before anyone else. Meanwhile, the other 15 people have 500 other sets to choose from and it's not as likely that they would choose the same sets on the same day.
It's just too big of a risk to buy content when it's first used because you expect too many other people to have that idea, as well.
What I would like to see is a content provider that puts an absolute limit of 1 sale of a content set in the first week. The initial price would be maybe 2 times the normal price and the person who bought it first would get the set exclusively for a period of just one week, which would give the buyer time to build a gallery and get it submitted everywhere. After that time, it would be sold like normal. This would give people more of a reason to buy the new sets, and once released like normal it would have been a few days since the original buyer submitted it, making the chances of new buyers getting listed with it a little better. Lately I see some TGPs listing the same content 3-4 days apart, so it shouldn't be too hard to get listed with the TGPs that only have 2 days worth of galleries on their site at once.
